      Hello everybody,

      target: saving a file from a panel to a fixed folder (Win10 music or roaming..)
      problem: File.getSpecialLocation() returns wrong folders (see below)
      system : win10 creators, Ctrlr 5.4.29, VS 2017
      questions:
      – is there a way to fix his?
      – if music/picture/…etc paths are all wrong, how reliable is userDocumentDirectory?
      – it there a way to get the folder where the panel resides?

      #SpecialLocationType: File.getSpecialLocation()

      userHomeDirectory: C:\Users\
      userDocumentsDirectory: C:\Users\
      \Documents
      userDesktopDirectory: C:\Users\
      \Desktop

      currentApplicationFile: C:\ProgramData
      invokedExecutableFile: C:\Users\Public\Documents
      currentExecutableFile: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming

      userMusicDirectory: C:\App Program Files (x86)\Ctrlr\Ctrlr-Win32.exe
      userMoviesDirectory: C:\App Program Files (x86)\Ctrlr\Ctrlr-Win32.exe
      userPicturesDirectory: C:\App Program Files (x86)\Ctrlr\Ctrlr-Win32.exe

      userApplicationDataDirectory: C:\Users\\Music
      commonApplicationDataDirectory: C:\Users\
      \Videos
